My Hondas are pissed at me........because they have to share their stable with THIS!!

[Merge_88]

Title and pics pretty much sum it up. Bike's a pretty nice original aside from the .40 over fresh top end along with a rebuilt lower end. The swinger is a 2" stretch Cal-Fab. The bike came with all the original parts as well and a title!!! I'm feracking stoked! It's my first Yamaha trike and cant wait to see how it stacks up with my R.

Can anyone identify the pipe that is on the bike. I didnt find any markings on the pipe or silencer. By the way, is the light in the headlight housing an "over heat" light? It hasnt come one as of yet.

[3Wheelers4Life]

nice collection you got there, also nice Z. i like those white shrouds on the 250R.

[225DX DUDE]

Merge, do you store your trikes like that all the time? Does it flood them at all? Is it bad for them? I just thought id ask because sitting them down regularly takes up alot of space... Let me know, Thanks

P.S. not trying to hijack thread... Nice looking Z you have there!!!

[Bryan Raffa]

thats a DG pipe ... Could you please post some pictures of the swingarm...you got some gold on that stocker!

that will clean up extremely well!!:welcome:

[Merge_88]

Well, I havent had any problems with standing them up like that yet. I too run out of floor space and this is the only solution I have.

[225DX DUDE]

Does it ever give you trouble starting them after sitting like that for a while? Sorry about butting in, now back to your thread... and your Z!!

[Merge_88]

im going to get the R out tomorrow and the 200X, I'll let you know how they start. In the past there has been no problems.

"thats a DG pipe ... Could you please post some pictures of the swingarm...you got some gold on that stocker!

I'll try to get soem more pics up tomorrow of the swingarm and one of the silencer. Thanks for the help, I am pretty much in the dark on the Yamahas. I really wasnt looking for a Z but I do know how rare the 86' can be in decent condition and priced right so I jumped on it. The owner that I got it from said all the aftermarket parts were already on the bike when he got it. Although, he was the owner who had the rebuild done by a local shop. It's suppose to be ported and polished but who knows, I do know that it has way more low end than my R does!

nice collection you got there, also nice Z. i like those white shrouds on the 250R.

I was talkin' bout' this in another post, are them Rad' Shrouds of an 87' 250r? If not they sure look like it? Jus' curious.:eek:

[ceaserthethird]

Look's great , it's ok to store them on their rear end ... just make sure you give the 3 wheeler 10 min's for all the oil to settle on the bottom end ...


Mine start right up no problems

[Youngrasher]

The little red light on the headlight is a temp warning light, If its a wired in correctly when you kickstart the bike the light should come on for a split second as a test to show you its all working. If this isn't happening it means something is not conected up so it wont come on if you overheat. Hope this helps.

[Merge_88]

The radiator shrouds were on the R when I got it, I believe they are just Maiers.


EXCELLENT! The light does come on right when I start it and then shuts off.

[Brockey]

Well the Z has the right colors atleast. Nice bikes.

[Merge_88]

UPDATE for 225DXDude.............I got the 250R out today so I could change the carrier bearings and I had no trouble starting it after sitting upright.

[tri-Z ripper]

Nice looking Z looks like the fork seals are leaking! but nice very nice youll love the super light front end!

[edog]

Why did you remove the other pics?

[Merge_88]

Yeah, the fork seals are leaking a bit, the seller gave me the new seals that he hadnt installed yet.


Hey edog, what other pics are you talking about? I still see the four that I posted up yesterday. Hummmmmmm

[edog]

3 wheeler world has been really acting weird lately.

[tri-Z ripper]

i know its silly but can you take a picture of it with the seat off is it just the gas cap? curious cause my coolant bottle is under my seat on my 85 never noticed before now!

[Merge_88]

Yeah the gas cap, and tool kit are under the seat

[big schott]

Looks to me like you are out of room... I'll come on down and take that 250R off your hands to help you make room for the others..LOL

Nice Trikes:w00t:

[evand]

nice looking z man. loving the red and white

[225DX DUDE]

Ok thanks, I am going to do that later today.......Thanks again

[Merge_88]

So I rode the Z today for the first time.........WOWOWOWOOW!!!!! I cant get over the low end this bike has compared to my 250R, holy %$^T!!! I think the R is faster and has longer legs in the top end, but out of the hole its no where close to the Z. We are heading down to St. Joe state park tomorrow to enjoy the warm weather and see how this thing really performs. CANT WAIT!!!

[honda250sx]

I seen this bike on craigslist for 1600. Did the seller budge at all on the price? Its a nice looking z for sure!

[Merge_88]

WOW..............you are from NY and searching the St. Louis ads or is there an option that you can search the nation with? If there is, please let me know how i can do that. Yeah the seller came down on the price, he was getting ready to go through a nasty divorce and justed wanted it gone before she got it too.

[honda250sx]

LoL trikers get around when were looking for trikes and parts. Nah i search different ones in intervals. Great. Glad you got a killer deal. Divorces are the best buys. You can always steal whats being sold!

[Jim mac]

isnt a site called crazedlist or something like that lets you check nationwide craigslist? jim
